Avoid the Local and National Hype you hear on the radio and in ads. It's true there are some red hot price ranges and local communities Hampton Roads but too many folks get caught up in emotion and are easy prey for slick sales people. For the most part our market is balanced and a Realtor focused on the Relationship and not the quick sale is your best bet for solid advice. Consider all your options then proceed with all the facts and a well experienced guide, The Perfecthouse Team. Waiting may have a cost but jumping without weighing all the facts may have an even higher cost.

Now that the housing market has stabilized, more and more homeowners are considering moving up to their dream home. With interest rates still near 4% and home values on the rise, now may be a great time to make a move.

Here is a chart detailing this point:

With each quarter percent increase in interest rate, the value of the home you can afford decreases by 2.5%, (in this example, $10,000). Experts predict that mortgage rates will be closer to 5% by this time next year.

Act now to get the most house for your hard earned money.
